The Outsiders are still in!
After all these years, I still love this movie. And the bonus footage, answered several questions for me. If you can get past the new soundtrack, it'll take you back to when "soc-es were soc-es and greasers were greasers".

What's up with the Soundtrack?
The Good: The transfer is BEAUTIFUL. It's close to HD quality - 10/10. The extra features are also a 10/10 and I liked the 22 minutes of extra scenes , although only maybe 10 minutes of them added any value to the movie. The audio is great (excluding the new soundtrack- see below). Great use of the surround channels. The sweet transfer, bonus features and 22 minutes of addtional scenes added back into the film make this DVD a must have for fins of the Outsiders.

The bad: For some insane reason, Coppola decided to install a new soundtrack which included a bunch of obscure Elvis songs (didn't know it was the King until the credits) and a bunch of queer Surfer/guitar songs from the 60's. WHAT THE? Sometimes these songs work but for the most part they are way over the top and detract from what is happening on screen.

A quick example:

Original Release: Johnny and Pony Boy are in the park late at night. You can here the crickets chirping, the wind blowing and off in the distance, you can barely hear the Soc's mustang. The music is piano and strings, barely noticeable but sets the mood for what's to come. Perfect.

New: Johnny and Pony Boy are in the park late at night. Surfer tune is playing loud and lively in the background. Must be going to a party one must think. you want to dance, Pony Boy? Music KEEPS going through the whole next scene too (fight and stabbing of the Soc). What is this Pulp Fiction? The whole scene was ruined. RUINED. Thank God I have the original version on DVD.

Please Please Please releas this version of the film with the original soundtrack as an option. I will buy it!

OMG!
I am 12 years old and I just got finished reading this AMAZING book in our english class and i loved it! Im a excelent reader for my age and of course the pace that we were reading at drove me insane! We first read the book then we watched the movie. I wanted to cry (i can not control myself when i cry) but i tried to be strong and hold it in. I alomost cried in the book but i sucked it up quick. And I DID cry when we watched the movie. Its so sad but i love it so much! I want the book and the movie. I like the book better ( i like books better than books in all movies.) I love to read PERIOD! Well anyways it is so sad and its a book that i will read probally 50 times.
